Since it wasn't a popular way to get a degree my largest class size was 6 students. I think I had the best education for the money.
There are ways to get your electives out of the way for nothing. Several government agencies (for example FEMA) offer accredited credits for taking their training courses. Go to their website. You order and they mail you the book, you read the book, the test questions are at the end, you either mail in or input online your answers. Instant 1-3 accredited credit hours per course. FEMA offers about 15-20 courses.
